Summary

I recently got a message from a listener saying its been a while and asking for some Sandy B, so here you go Marcos. Sandy B is from Tampa Florida and today we have him speaking at the 56th annual Florida State Convention held in Palm Harbor in August of 2012, he was 48 years sober at the time of this speak and if you are unfamiliar with Sandy he was a very popular speaker for literally decades. Check out the event list for new listings, an LGBTQ conference that looks like a lot of fun in West Hollywood on Memorial Day weekend and if you are on the other side of the country I just added the Way of Life Conference happening in June in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. Lastly I got an email from Dante at the Friends in Recovery Roundup down in South Africa and they just added their schedules and zoom info for this free event, you can find that link below and on the FIR website.
